Prosperity asks for fidelity; adversity exacts it.
Scientology , how about that? You hold on to the tin cans and then this guy asks you a bunch of questions, and if you pay enough money you get to join the master race. How's that for a religion ?
When your mind is quiet, you enter into the flow of love, and you just flow from one moment to the next as naturally as breathing. Whatever arises, I embrace it with love in the moment. This is my practice of polishing the mirror to reflect love. In this moment there is just awareness and love. If someone asks me how to get into their heart, I give them this practice: I Am Loving Awareness.
The Heart asks Pleasure--first-- And then--Excuse from Pain
I have been feeling very much lately that cheerful insecurity is what our Lord asks of us.

Every returning New Yorker asks the question: Is this still my city? I have a ready answer, cloaked in obstinate despair: It is. And if it's not, I will love it all the more. I will love it to the point where it becomes mine again.
Pythagoras asks that we not let a friend go lightly, for whatever reason. Instead, we should stay with a friend as long as we can, until we're compelled to abandon him completely against our will.

No loss is more chilling or more dangerous than that of a friend.
All that the Devil asks is acquiescence.

A pipe is a pocket philosopher,--a truer one than Socrates, for it never asks questions. Socrates must have been very tiresome, when one thinks of it.
To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one's youth back again?
I don't know which is worse - to have somebody you DON'T like ask you to marry him or NOT have some one you DO like. Both are rather unpleasant.
He who seeks the Father more than anything He can give, is likely to have what he asks, for he is not likely to ask amiss.
Don't ask so many questions and they will all be answered.
He is a great Necromancer, for he asks counsel counsell of the Dead (i. e. books).
It's the nature of man to ask questions. --Belgarath
Does anyone ask their parents how they are conceived?
In our minds lives the madonna image--the all-embracing, all- giving tranquil mother of a Raphael painting, one child at her breast, another at her feet; a woman fulfilled, one who asks nothing more than to nurture and nourish. This creature of fantasy, this myth, is the model--the unattainable ideal against which women measure, not only their performance, but their feelings about being mothers.
When you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak.
